The Hawkeyes, fresh off completing a 12-0 regular season, come in at No. 4 (AP) and No. 3 (Coaches). Iowa, actually, dropped one spot in the AP Poll due to Oklahoma jumping it following a blowout win at rival and then-No. 9 Oklahoma State.
Moving up this week in both polls: Michigan State (No. 5/No. 5), Ohio State (No. 6/No. 6), Northwestern (No. 13/No. 13) and Wisconsin (No. 25/No. 25), which reenters the polls after winning at rival Minnesota.
Michigan went from No. 12 to No. 19 in both polls in the wake of its blowout loss to Ohio State at Michigan Stadium.
